As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of finned air-blast heat exchangers, our standard air-cooler design, like our reputation for superior quality and performance, has been honed over many years to be the very best available on the international marketplace. Much of this results from the use of the Patented ElfinBlock core, resulting in class-leading levels of performance and durability. The ability to specify virtually any combination of tube and fin material, including copper-alloys, stainless steel and titanium etc., gives engineers the freedom to balance budget and longevity considerations.
The Elfin manufacturing process also imparts the ability to incorporate many enhancements such as louvers, air turbulators and vortex generators. Our expertise in the use of vortex clean air technology reduces pressure loss and fin fouling, resulting in lower maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption.
Elfin products are manufactured using custom built, state-of-the-art CNC machines incorporating advanced electronics and linear motor technology. This results in excellent fin-to-tube contact for optimum thermal conductivity and increased consistency of fin placement for minimal pressure drop in stacked rows.
Compare this to some of the alternative construction methods used by many of our competitors, one of the most common being bullet-expansion. This method commonly results in varying levels of contact between the tubes and the fins as variations and inconsistencies in tube diametre, thickness and ovality take their toll. This construction method also greatly restricts material choice, tube thickness and shape. |
